Becoming a lawyer starts with raising a Xiezhi

Chapter 200 The Price of Justice

Wu Qing's life was saved, but the victim's family was dissatisfied and appealed on the spot.However, as the victim's family does not have the right to appeal in a criminal case, they can only make a request to the procuratorate and let the procuratorate make a protest.

If the procuratorate agrees to the protest and the protest is successful, then Wu Qing's life will be lost. If the procuratorate disagrees with the victim's application to file a protest, or if the protest is unsuccessful, then the victim's family has no choice.

Faced with this situation, the family members of the victim are actually quite helpless, but how to put it, this also reflects the civilization of the rule of law, unlike in ancient times, no matter what the reason for killing someone, they would be beheaded. The idea of ​​homomorphic revenge, life for life.

However, in the modern legal civilization, homogeneous revenge is no longer practiced, but according to the circumstances of each person's crime, criminal motives, etc., the defendant is given a sentence that deserves the crime.

Although Wu Qing killed someone and mutilated the body, the victim was at fault in this murder case, so Wu Qing's sentence was reduced.

After the verdict is pronounced, as long as the procuratorate does not file a protest and Wu Qing does not appeal, the verdict will take effect after ten days, and Wu Qing can be taken to prison to serve her sentence.

Wu Qing's mother was very grateful to Meng Lang and Niu Zhao. After returning home, she kept expressing her gratitude to them.Niu Zhao was very happy at this time, because she had contributed a lot to her successful defense this time.

But Meng Lang was not very happy, because he knew that when a family was happy and the family was sad, the victim's family would suffer from insomnia.They don't care what the victim's fault is, as long as their person dies, the other party must pay with his life.

As soon as Wu Qing's mother left, Meng Lang said to Niu Zhao: "There is one disadvantage in doing criminal cases. When we face the defendant, we hope that he will be given a lighter punishment, but when we face the victim , but it will make us doubt whether it is the right thing to defend the defendant successfully? A defendant who can get an excellent defense and a defendant who cannot get an excellent defense may have very different final punishment results, but in the end Was the former justice served, or the latter justice served?"

After hearing this, Niu Zhao said: "Justice needs a price to maintain, right? If a person is not willing to pay any price, then justice is hard to achieve. There is nothing free in this world. Are you right? ?”

Meng Lang couldn't help laughing: "Miss Niu, what you said is very profound. There is indeed nothing free in the world. If the client is unwilling to hire a lawyer, or cannot afford a barrister, then justice may not be done. In this case, This is most obvious in the West. Those rich people can spend a lot of money to hire big-name lawyers, and they can get effective defense, while those poor people can’t afford big-name lawyers, and the final result will not be very good. Therefore, there are talents It would be said that the law is a game for the rich, and the West is a paradise for capitalists. The law is only used to restrain the poor, while the rich can hire a lawyer to defend themselves and not be bound by the law. I don’t think this is a good situation. .”

Niu Zhao said with a smile: "So in the West, the status of lawyers is very high, and the income also belongs to the upper class, but in our country of Tao, it is very difficult to achieve this now."

Meng Lang said: "We can do it too. As long as we can make money, what social status do we need? Besides, is our current social status low? I don't think so."

Niu Zhao laughed again: "As long as we have money, who dares to say that our social status is low?"

Meng Lang and Niu Zhao chatted about this topic for a long time. No matter what, they thought Wu Qing was justifiable. Immediately executing the death penalty is a very fair sentence. As long as it is a fair sentence, justice will be done. As for whether the family members of the victim will be satisfied, this is not the scope of justice considerations. Justice is not to satisfy everyone, but to seek a social balance. Everyone must obey this kind of judgment that can make the society balanced.

"Meng Lang, in the future, we can provide legal services to the families of the victims. In this way, we will be in balance, right?" Niu Zhao said with a smile after a while.

Meng Lang said: "Your words reminded me. I don't think the lawyers of the victim's family are very good in this case. If there is a case involving the victim's family who finds us, we will take it and properly represent the victim."

Niu Zhao nodded heavily.

A few days after I finished speaking, I really encountered such a case, and the family members of the victim came here especially for the name. Niu Zhao came out to pick it up. As soon as he heard that they were the victim, Niu Zhao immediately became interested.

He told meng lang immediately.Meng Lang came out to receive them, and they told him and Niu Zhao the basic situation.

The family of the victim was an old couple who had only one precious daughter in their life, and then married an ugly man. At that time, the couple disagreed with their daughter's marriage, but the daughter refused to marry because of this man, and she wanted to die. Helpless, had to agree.

After getting married, the young couple seemed to be in harmony, but after more than a year, the two had conflicts, but fortunately, they were all minor conflicts, and they did not quarrel to the point of divorce.

However, what the old couple didn't expect was that within two years of their marriage, they suddenly received a call from the police saying that their daughter had been killed.

After receiving this shocking news, the couple almost passed out. They saw their daughter who had been dead for a long time in the morgue.

The police told them that it was a homicide, that they were killed in their own home, and the murderer has not been caught yet.

The couple cried bitterly while lying on the dead body, and the son-in-law standing aside also had tears on his face.They asked the son-in-law what was going on?The son-in-law told them intermittently, saying that a thief came to their house to steal things, but their daughter found out, and then the thief killed her.

The couple asked him why he wasn't home at the time?He said that he went out because of something, and when he came back, he found that the house had been stolen, so he immediately called the police. When the police came, he found that their daughter had been killed and put in the closet.

The house was turned into a mess by a thief. This thief is too hateful.

Their son-in-law told them about the situation, but they didn't think about it for a while, and the police didn't say anything to them, so they asked them to go home and wait until the autopsy was done before they could be buried in peace.

The old couple had no choice but to go home, crying all day, but what they didn't expect was that a month later, they received another call from the police, telling them that the murderer had been found, and it was none other than their son-in-law. Kill their daughter!

I wish all book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, all the best and happiness to the whole family!
